Lovely campus, as one would expect from an Ivy. The tour guide was certainly enthusiastic & cheerful.

Huntsman Hall was beautiful; students were all around. We covered a pretty general area, got to see the Quad. The campus had a very city-like feel, as expected

Because the tour guides are trained rigorously, they will be very knowledgeable! Penn offers several tour guides at a time, each from different schools and majors.

We took a tour of the entire campus and spent some time in many of the buildings. Our tour guide was really helpful in explaining the importance/function of each building and student life on campus.

the tour was informative, and the campus was nice. its all on one long pathway in philadelphia and in the center of city life, though you don't need to really leave the campus ever.

Tour guides were very nice, but seemed quite inexperienced and were not very informative

It was great. My tour guide was a Huntsman student which is the program I'm interested in, so that worked out well.

The tour guide was really cool. I was fortunate to get someone who was in Wharton (where I am thinking of transferring to). I think it's important to talk to people in your interest.

Beautiful! City within a city. You could never leave campus and be entertained-theres subway, taco bell, starbucks, Gap and more.The buildings were old and elegant and the insides were so advanced.

Also very informative, and more extensive than the other tours I have been on. We did get to see a dorm, which was very nice.

the entire campus was absolutely gorgeous. i would have liked to be shown inside some more buildings but the proximity of the city and the beauty of the courtyards overshadowed any complaints i had.

Like the info sessions, the campus tours range widely. During the peak months of July/August, you may be on a tour with 100 other people and barely able to hear your guide. If you go any other month, you may have a private tour. The tour guides vary wi

Honestly, our tour guide was helpful, but he kept on repeating what the admissions counselor already said, so the group kept on smirking. He answered all the questions nicely though.
